Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

HAT TRICK, the independent television production company, is awarded third place today in the Independent Top 100 for business achievement, and simultaneously announces that it is moving into movies. Flushed with the success of its TV comedies Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Drop The Dead Donkey and Have I Got News For You?, the founders are setting up Hat Trick Films. The company, which started out seven years ago with a payroll of one and now has 11 TV shows in hand and a turnover in excess of pounds 7m, will specialise in 'modestly budgeted comedy'.
